One of my all-time favorite blogs that I read almost every day is Frances Arnold’s Quilts and Other Stuff from Frances. I don’t usually link more than one post a week from the same blog in my Creative Juice feature. When the highly-shareable posts come fast and furious, I save links to be used in future editions. While Frances has been sharing her photos of beautiful quilts at the 2022 International Quilt Festival, I’ve been stockpiling them. I discovered I also have older posts of hers that I’ve been saving. So today I’m treating all the quilters to a baker’s dozen of Frances’ great posts.

• Actually, this link is for everyone: the steps to building skill at any craft you want to learn.
• I love how Frances shares her piecing process.
• Frances’ travelogue quilts bring back memories.
• I still haven’t used rulers for machine quilting, but Frances’ great instructions make me think I can do it.
• I’ve never used fusible batting. Frances shows us how.
• Pictorial quilts from the 2021 International Quilt Festival.
• Innovative techniques from the 2021 IQF.
• And these are Frances’ favorite quilts from the 2021 IQF.
• Micropieced quilts from this year’s IQF.
• Large pictorial quilts from IQF 2022.
• Smaller pictorial quilts from IQF 2022.
• Extraordinary pieced quilts from IQF 2022.
• Exemplary quilts from IQF 2022.

I don’t want to give you quilt overload, so I’m stopping here today.
